The CoIored Peoples Fair.

The State Fair of the colored people OF
Florida will be opened at Jacksonville
to-day, and it is expected that it will be a
very creditable one. The colored people,
not only Of Florida but OF other Southern
States, are showing degree of enterprise
in the matt err of fairs that is commend
able. They are not only anxious to show
to the world what they nave accomplished,
and are accomplishing, but they also
wish to inspire their race with a desire to
improve their material condition.
Florida has large colored population,
and the fair at Jacksonville will give O
pretty good idea of the progress this part
OF the people of the State has accomp Iish-
ed since emancipation. or course il will |
not equal the fair recently held in South
Florida, and it is not expected to, but it
will show that there are colored people
in Florida who are good farmers, garden
ers and fruit growers. 1t will also show
that the women as well az the men are ad-
vancing in everything that denotes an i'm
proved condition.
There are no doubt a great many COL
ored people in Florida who are quite COM
WI tdbAy hASo III ill6. lucy own IneIT
homes, have little farms and some good
stock They are accommodating wealth,
and, although they are not rich, there is
very reason to think that there will be
rich men among them in The nextsgenera-
ton.
1t is noticeable that there is a growing
selt-respect among them. This is one Of
the most encouraging evidences that they
are making some advancement. OF course
the great mass of the colored people have
changed very little from what they were
twenty years ago, but it is probable that
those who are advancing will be able to
lift up their race by their example.
Not only in Florida. but elsewhere in
The South, the white people are doing all
they can to encourage the colored people
o elevate themselves. They share with
them the school fund, and in other ways
promote their welfare. The colored peo-
pie had place in the Cotton Centennial
Exhibition at New Orleans, and they are
being helped TO make their projected
Fair at Birmingham, Ala, a
success. The. outlook tor the fair at
Jacksonville is very promising.

One OF the most interesting facts In
connection wIthShe history of civillzs-
tion in this century is that women have
been the prime movers in nearly every
reform OF any importance. 1t is impos-
sib!e TO name u single movement for the
elevation OF mankind, since the begin
ming of the century, OF which women
have not been the instigators, or with
which they have not been prominently
connected. There is no fancy in the state
ment that woman is mans better half.

THE tide of immigration Is said to be
setting toward America with unusual
force, the influx of foreign immi-
grants promising to equal that Of any
previous year. This is attributed to
several causes: First, the impression
has gained abroad, that after two years of
financial depression the United States is
entering on a year of prosperity and
thus offers inducements to the less
favored European. Again, the war
rumblings on the continents are not con-
ducive to the hope that men will be
allowed to labor for the maintenance of
their families; neither are prospects of
pesceable possession OF homes on Irish
soil such as to induce athe pessantry OF
that island to foTego the privilege Of
American citizenship. Hence, both from
continent and island, men are fiocking to
America, bringing with them, in many
instances, preconceived opinions not
favorable to the best interest of this
country.
